Journalist and Temple Mount activist Arnon Segal, who announced his candidacy in the religious Zionist primaries, criticizes the behavior of some of the public against the reformers who come to the Western Wall, calling them a “Jewish foundation”.
Segal, whose confrontation has already caused a storm on the right, said in an interview with Emir Ettinger in Israel Hayom: “The Reform Square exists. I cannot tolerate attacks on them, harassment of people who come to pray even if it is not according to the halachic rules.”
Segal added that “what they do to the reformers there is like a Jewish waqf. You don’t have to go there to defy.”
Segal, whose opinion on Binyamin Netanyahu is well known, says that there is no difference between Netanyahu’s governments and the outgoing Bennet-Lapid government: “You look at the last year, and at the 20th Knesset, which was a dream right-wing government, and I don’t see a big difference. There were times when I thought that if Netanyahu will move aside, the right will return to power. Today I think Netanyahu is not the story. If the right is united – the right will return to power.”
Regarding the claims that he sat in the government under Lapid or Gantz, Segal said: “I am loyal to the national camp, there is no situation in which we will go with anyone else, neither with Gantz nor with Lapid. I only have to answer this question because there is a witch hunt on the right that I deplore , but this does not represent all Likud voters, we need to remain united in order to return to power.”
